  • Publication number: 20190034735
    Abstract: An object detection device including at least one image capture element can capture image data for a region of interest and detect types of objects located in that region. Information such as the coordinates of the objects and descriptors for the objects can be transmitted, along with timestamp data, in order to allow those objects to be counted, tracked, or otherwise monitored by a separate system without transmitting the image data or potentially sensitive data regarding the objects. The data from multiple devices for the region can be aggregated such that objects can be tracked as the objects switch between different fields of view of different devices, based on the location and descriptor data. Information about the presence, location, or movement of certain types of action can then be used to trigger specific actions, such as to allocate resources or generated alarms based thereon.

  • Publication number: 20180334214
    Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle that can be used for personal transportation is described. In some embodiments, the vehicle includes first and second wheels that define a common longitudinal axis of rotation, a rigid platform extending along the common longitudinal axis between the first and second wheels that defines a left foot portion and a right foot portion, a first strain sensor affixed to the rigid platform, and a control system configured to output a steering control signal based on a sensor signal received from the first strain sensor.

  • Publication number: 20180259960
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can include one or more cameras for capturing image data within a field of view that depends in part upon the location and orientation of the UAV. At least a portion of the image data can be processed on the UAV to locate objects of interest, such as people or cars, and use that information to determine where to fly the drone in order to capture higher quality image data of those or other such objects. Once identified, the objects of interest can be counted, and the density, movement, location, and behavior of those objects identified. This can help to determine occurrences such as traffic congestion or unusual patterns of pedestrian movement, as well as to locate persons, fires, or other such objects. The data can also be analyzed by a remote system or service that has additional resources to provide more accurate results.

  • Publication number: 20180090020
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of vestibular dysfunction that includes providing a virtual reality device to a patient, playing a first phase one stimulation video on the virtual reality device that includes a first amount of phase one three-dimensional objects, playing a first phase one suppression video. The first phase one suppression video includes an amount of phase one three-dimensional objects that is less than the first amount of phase one three-dimensional objects. Playing a first phase two stimulation video that includes a first amount of phase two three-dimensional objects. Playing a first phase two suppression video that includes an amount of phase two three-dimensional objects that is less than the first amount of phase two three-dimensional objects.

  • Publication number: 20160212385
    Abstract: A sports advisory system identifies the position of a ball in a plurality of images. Based on the identified positions, a projected trajectory for the ball is determined in real time, and a prediction generated regarding a sporting outcome. A participant, such as a player, referee, or spectator, is provided with advisory information regarding the sporting outcome via a communication unit.
